PG 1605+072 has unique pulsational properties amongst the members of the new class of pulsating sdB (EC 14026) stars. It has the longest periods and the richest, most puzzling frequency spectrum (55 periods). We present a quantitative analysis of a Keck HIRES spectrum using NLTE and LTE model atmospheres. Atmospheric parameters (T eff , log g, log nHe nH), metal abundances , and the rotational ...

Abstract This paper picks up the need for a wide range programmable corner frequency anti-aliasing and antiimaging filters in on-chip impedance spectroscopy sensor signal readout circuitry with self-X properties (selfdiagnosing/healing) industry 4.0 applications. A fourthorder tunable MOSFET-C low pass filter is designed by using XFAB 0.35 μm CMOS technology Cadence design tools. The proposed c...

objective: in electrochemotherapy (ect), there is an unpleasant sensation of muscle contraction when using a low frequency (1 hz). therefore, by increasing the pulse frequency above the tetanic frequency this painful sensation can be reduced. the aim of the present study is to compare the treatment efficiencies of low and high frequency ect, and estimate the effect of its repeated sessions. mat...

Automatic extraction of facial feature points is one of the main problems for semantic coding of videophone sequences at very low bit rates. In this contribution, an approach for estimation of the eye and mouth corner point positions is presented. For this proposition, the location informations of the face model are exploited to define search areas for estimation of the eye and mouth corner poi...

Vagal control of heart rate (HR) is mediated by direct and indirect actions of ACh. Direct action of ACh activates the muscarinic K(+) (K(ACh)) channels, whereas indirect action inhibits adenylyl cyclase. The role of the K(ACh) channels in the overall picture of vagal HR control remains to be elucidated. We examined the role of the K(ACh) channels in the transfer characteristics of the HR respo...

Although random aortic pressure (AOP) perturbation according to a binary white noise sequence enables us to estimate open-loop dynamic characteristics of the carotid sinus baroreflex under closed-loop conditions, the necessity of arterial catheter implantation limits the applicability of this method in freely moving animal experiments. Thus, we explored a closed-loop system identification metho...

today there are different vibration isolators used in industries according to the weight and excitation frequency of the machines which have vibration. one of them is air spring which is in two types: convoluted air spring and membrane air spring. convoluted air springs are used to control vibrations in low frequency (usually lower than 10 hz) and the membrane ones are used in high frequency (u...

Recent investigations in our laboratory using a Gaussian white noise technique showed that the transfer function representing the dynamic properties of transduction from vagus nerve activity to heart rate had characteristics of a first-order low-pass filter. However, the physiological determinants of those characteristics remain to be elucidated. In this study, we stimulated the vagus nerve acc...
